Archistoire

Thanks to geolocation, the Archistoire application can show you tours close to you. Whether you're interested in augmented tours, interactive atlases, digital orientation tables or virtual exhibitions, follow the guide!

Enhance your visit by accessing exclusive content along the way: old postcards reveal the hidden face of the area, inaccessible sites open their doors to you virtually, and buildings that no longer exist rise from the ground once more...

Through an immersive, fun and educational experience, take a new look at your surroundings and decipher the secrets of the places you're exploring.

The tours are optimized for on-site, augmented reality experiences. Prefer to go on an adventure from the comfort of your sofa? No problem, the app works just as well remotely: make yourself comfortable and embark on a visual and aural immersion using your 360° Smartphone.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. Activate your Smartphone's location service to use functions requiring access to your GPS.
2. Select the route of your choice from the list and download it
3. Start the route and visit the points of interest, either in situ or virtually.
4. Access interactive content to (re)discover the places you visit
5. Enjoy your visit :-)

Note that the application can be used offline, provided you have downloaded the desired routes. Handy for using Archistoire in places where the connection is poor!
